The “Zone of Silence” is located in Durango, Mexico’s Mapimí Biosphere Reserve, and is a 50-kilometer patch of the Chihuahuan desert. Also known as the “Mapimí Silent Zone,” this area is subject to urban myths, where...

Huh. Hey guys,
00:07
welcome back to Lincoln Bio.
00:08
I'm Jenny. I'm Alejandro and sorry for the bad dancing moves
00:13
But you know what?
00:14
We always have bad dancing moves,
00:15
brother. I don't even know what the hell to do anymore
00:17
Well, you know what,
00:18
you know, someone that doesn't know what to do is this
00:19
guy that broke the world record for twerking.
00:22
What? So we're going to talk about that.
00:24
I talk about that.
00:26
The Castellanos. Well,
00:27
he's hitting bombs and it's like a weird m mercado on there
00:31
I heard, don't,
00:33
don't spill the tea sister.
00:34
All right, we're talking about some kind of creepy paranormal stuff
00:38
with the zona sign in Mexico.
00:40
So, oh, I've heard about La Soda Del Silencio.
00:43
You like to translate everything,
00:44
don't you? We're also going to be with the evil cooks
00:50
who share some dark recipes and there's some mashing going on.
00:56
You'll see. And Chito DEA ambassador Brio Torres joins us.
01:03
So excited to talk to her and Ka Ban breaks down the
01:08
copa consequences. It was a,
01:12
it was mad to say the least,
01:17
but let's get into it.
01:18
Let's do it. Ale.
01:23
There are things that are certain in this country,
01:25
like the taxes and my boy,
01:29
Nick Castellanos hitting a home run every time a tragedy happens.
01:33
What do you mean,
01:35
like, somebody dies or something happens in our country?
01:40
Count on my boy to hit a home run and just overshadow
01:43
it apparently. No way.
01:45
Yes, way. Well,
01:46
if you break it down,
01:47
like, what does he predicted?
01:49
What does he hit home runs?
01:50
So, you know,
01:51
you got the death of Osama Bin Laden.
01:53
Really? Boom. Nic Kiano hits a home run,
01:56
go get it in the parking lot.
01:58
Ok. That's one instance.
01:59
But what else Trump assassination attempt?
02:02
No way. One is there more?
02:05
Yeah, my favorite one was an announcer that was publicly
02:09
apologizing for using the slur like during the broadcast during his at
02:13
bat. He's saying,
02:14
I'm sorry, like I let the fans down,
02:17
you know the the organization all that mid sentence.
02:22
Boom, you shut him up.
02:24
Nick hits a home run in the middle of the,
02:27
in the middle of the,
02:27
I'm sorry, Nick cast was like shut up.
02:30
Boom. Dang. That's crazy.
02:32
So people are catching on to my dudes hitting home runs during
02:35
tragedies. So you know,
02:37
Biden announced that he was,
02:39
you know, withdrawing from the election.
02:41
Guess what happened? Vegas was going crazy.
02:44
Vegas was going crazy draft Kings,
02:46
bro. Even if,
02:47
if I would have known I would have put like $100 on
02:49
it. Look at the payout.
02:51
So this is the ok.
02:52
So of 25 bucks for 275.
02:55
So Biden announced this,
02:56
people are like, oh dang,
02:58
Nick's gonna do something they put he's due for something and then
03:02
lo and behold, boom,
03:04
it's a danger. So there's something to be said there with
03:06
all these sports superstitions,
03:08
it's like there's Nick Castano is living proof,
03:10
the government is falling apart and my boy Nick's bat is just
03:14
confirming things. The bat of justice.
03:17
I don't know. But that's crazy dude.
03:19
And it's been a his story month,
03:21
you know, with everything going on and Nick's been,
03:24
you know, pretty on point with matching the energy of these
03:28
tragedies for sure. So,
03:30
you know, if you,
03:30
if, if you see Nick hitting a home run,
03:32
just look around, jump on Twitter,
03:35
make sure your family is safe.
03:36
Some people elected officials are safe,
03:39
you know, but definitely keep an eye on him and bet
03:43
on him whenever you hear these news,
03:45
you know, cash out with 25 bucks.
03:47
Got this person right here.
03:49
275 should have put 100 sister.
03:58
Have you heard about the zone of silence in the Chihuahuan Desert
04:01
Lana Del Silent that I haven't heard of it.
04:05
I'm just translating it.
04:08
No dude. It's crazy.
04:10
So there's a 31 mile strip in Mexico where suddenly your phone
04:13
goes silent. We stopped working and even compasses spin out of
04:17
control. What it's like the Bermuda triangle or like area 51
04:23
or something. In 1970 the Athena rocket launched the United States
04:27
airbase in Utah and crashed in the middle of this whole zone
04:31
of silence. The zone of silence is also home to a
04:34
high concentration of meteor fragments and strange flora and fauna.
04:37
So crazy stuff that you usually don't see in the real world
04:41
Tourists and locals in the area say that they spotted tall
04:45
light haired aliens who asked them for water.
04:48
The beings are known as nordics in the area.
04:51
They claim to be from above and they speak Spanish.
04:54
What aliens speaking Spanish?
04:57
I mean, they're in the zone of science but they still
04:59
got to communicate but silent.
05:02
They're not silent. What?
05:04
Oh my God, I kind of want to go.
05:06
It's kind of creepy where you're interested.
05:08
It's like, yeah,
05:09
I love scary stuff and spooky stuff like around Halloween time.
05:12
There was this park,
05:14
it's called G Park.
05:15
So we took a step forward,
05:19
the whole temperature just dropped immensely.
05:22
And we're like, we just looked at each other.
05:23
We didn't even talk.
05:24
We're like, did you guys feel that we're like,
05:27
yeah, and it's known to be haunted that part.
05:29
So we're like, dude,
05:30
let's get out of here like that was weird.
05:32
That was so weird.
05:34
So crazy. This sir be real with me.
05:42
What do you think of these moves?
05:46
Imagine doing that for 3.5 hours straight to set the Guinness World
05:52
record? I could do it for 3.5 hours straight that way
05:55
Yeah. Just put on some music.
05:56
Well, supposedly he's twerking.
05:58
Twerking. Yes. It has a little movement back there,
06:01
you know, like I'm not getting twerking,
06:02
like, when it comes to twerking,
06:04
I need, I need some cheeks.
06:07
Yeah. Booty smacking.
06:10
Ok. I feel that this record wasn't about,
06:12
you know, twerking for the longest time ever.
06:16
And breaking world records,
06:17
it was essentially a mission to raise awareness about depression and the
06:21
importance of mental health.
06:22
Hey, I love that.
06:24
I love that twerking for a good cause.
06:26
So we see how long weekends work for.
06:30
Yeah, we can or we can see another random world record
06:34
We can kind of like do,
06:35
oh that'd be kind of cool.
06:36
Like what do you think your world record would be?
06:39
How long? Oh Someone has ever pet a dog before?
06:42
How long do you think you could pet your dog for?
06:44
I could pet him for a long time,
06:45
like 3.5 hours long.
06:48
No longer brother. But I don't know if Charlie would fuck
06:51
with that. He's gonna get all pissed off and walk.
06:54
Maybe he'd get hot sometimes he gets annoyed over here.
06:58
Yeah. Yeah. What about you?
07:00
I don't know this thing,
07:02
I don't know. Let's move on.
07:07
Congrats to my boy,
07:09
you know, it was,
07:10
it was for a good cause and I think it's only right
07:14
brother. It's only right if we end this segment with a
07:17
little Twerk, we gotta do it.
07:20
I feel like this.
07:25
Anyways. Let's, let's Yeah,
07:26
bye guys. We all saw what happened at the Copa America
07:34
Actually I lived it.
07:36
You were there? Yeah,
07:38
it was, it was pretty brutal.
07:40
It was mayhem, say the least.
07:41
And those who snuck into the final without a ticket are beginning
07:44
to face consequences, rumors are flying around but here to help
07:48
us break down. What's actually happening is journalist Kata Aano.
07:53
Hi Kata. Thank you so much for joining us today.
07:56
How are you? Thank you so much for having me.
07:59
Is it really true that 7000 people were able to sneak into
08:03
the Copa America? Oh,
08:04
yes, rumors are true.
08:06
It was actually more than 7000.
08:08
It was about 8000 plus people were able to sneak in I
08:11
think sneak in is is is a funny thing to say because
08:14
nobody snuck in. We all saw on cameras,
08:17
people climbing walls, climbing fences,
08:20
passionate fans as we call them in Spanish inch inch Colombianos in
08:25
Argentinos. People were doing whatever they could to get in.
08:27
So yeah, it is,
08:29
it is indeed very true.
08:30
I guess the proper word would be breaking.
08:32
They broke into la Copa America,
08:34
me and my family,
08:35
we all had our tickets.
08:36
We were literally pushed into like I still have the bruise this
08:41
on my leg because my my leg got caught on the ticket
08:44
or the, you know,
08:45
the security. And like we all just,
08:48
it was a huge,
08:50
like, stampede. I genuinely was fearing for my life and
08:53
I think many people in the crowd were feeling the same way
08:57
It was difficult almost to enjoy the game and be present
09:01
after surviving something not catastrophic,
09:05
but I mean, it was intense for sure,
09:08
kind of life threatening.
09:09
And you said it was like close to 8000 people that like
09:12
you know, again broke in.
09:14
but what are the repercussions for those who were caught?
09:17
Some of the penalties can be anything from loss of visa,
09:21
hefty fines, imprisonment and then others could be like as
09:25
severely as being deported from the country.
09:27
So what implications does this chaotic situation have on future events that
09:31
are set to take place in the US?
09:32
Like, you know,
09:32
we have the World Cup coming up and Olympics in the future
09:35
as well. The organization called me wasn't prepared for,
09:38
for the type of fandom that was coming to watch the game
09:42
So while, while the behavior of the people was atrocious
09:46
and was very triggering to watch from a screen or some of
09:49
us that watched live for the organization to not prepare for the
09:53
logistics to not be as organized as they should have been.
09:55
Because throughout other games,
09:57
other players and other people were also complaining that just the organization
10:01
just wasn't at par consequences for the unfortunately,
10:05
for the La Eli Colombia,
10:07
like for the team,
10:08
they're facing a whole bunch of fines because of the behavior
10:11
of the fans and,
10:12
and as a Colombian,
10:14
it, it saddens me because I consider,
10:16
and I know Daniela would agree with me that when it
10:18
comes to the guys,
10:20
when it comes to La Eli,
10:21
they, they played with their hearts,
10:25
they made us all very,
10:26
very proud. We were all excited,
10:27
you know, we don't get to see our team become
10:31
finalists of a Copa America.
10:33
As often as we,
10:34
we would like to.
10:35
So for us, we were just all very,
10:37
very excited. And I think that there's probably gonna
10:41
be a lot of new regulations there.
10:43
This was probably a learning curve for organizations that are going to
10:46
be part of our hosting for for the FIFA World Cup
10:50
in 2026. That's for those fans that like genuinely just want
10:53
to go to game,
10:54
enjoy because then again,
10:55
the follow up games that we can do the Mexican soccer too
10:57
where like there's empty stadiums because we can't behave and it's a
11:02
bummer. I hadn't heard La Ele was facing consequences when
11:07
it was not their fault.
11:09
I mean, we,
11:09
we love them so much.
11:11
We're crazy because of them.
11:13
And, but that's not an excuse.
11:14
We should be respectful and these consequences I think they're needed
11:19
so that this never happens again.
11:22
Elbo de la Moral.
11:23
No, aa. But that's not an excuse.
11:27
Disappointment. What is that?
11:29
I'm not, I'm not mad.
11:31
I'm disappointed in you.
11:32
That's what I felt like.
11:35
Bueno. Thank you so,
11:36
so much for joining us to help talk about what happened,
11:41
what's happening? We really appreciate you joining us,
11:45
Kata. I appreciate you inviting me.
11:46
And where can people find you on social media all over social
11:49
media? Cata Dan.
11:51
Beautiful. All right,
11:52
cool. Well, thank you,
11:53
Kata, talk soon.
11:54
Thank you, Kata.
11:55
Bye a lot. Raspados,
12:20
Dinos Grain. Today we have Rizzo,
13:14
a Cheetos Deja Tua ambassador,
13:18
a talented singer, actor and educator with us.
13:24
Hey, what's good y'all?
13:27
Thank you for joining us.
13:28
I'm gonna dive right in.
13:29
What does it mean to be a Cheetos?
13:31
They have to we ambassador and how did it feel to be
13:33
selected? I gotta say it's been such a beautiful experience and
13:40
and wild ride of inspiring the youth representing my community,
13:45
not only in my hometown in San Antonio,
13:48
but where I'm at in New York and all the way here
13:51
in Tulum Mexico. It's been life-changing seriously,
13:56
especially like as an artist,
13:58
as a singer, actor being a part of also like the
14:01
billboards week and seeing representation there with the,
14:05
the Way Out program with other artists.
14:08
It's been quite an experience.
14:10
Let me tell you,
14:10
can you tell us a bit more about the work you do
14:14
with the good, good collective.
14:16
Yeah. So we're all about providing high quality tuition,
14:20
free, performing arts education.
14:22
So, from music,
14:24
theater, dance, and also visual arts to Children in need
14:29
specifically underrepresented youth,
14:31
Latin Black Indigenous and keeping culture alive in communities where they need
14:36
it the most. So my impact is we're based out of
14:40
New York in Bushwick,
14:41
Brooklyn is my,
14:43
my beautiful home and I,
14:46
you know, wanted to do more even though back when we
14:50
started with limited resources,
14:52
but we have an amazing program in my hometown in San Antonio
14:57
and also in Tulum Mexico,
14:59
where we focus on the my indigenous Children there I need.
15:03
And what kind of impact do you hope to leave on future
15:05
generations? And in the community,
15:07
I really want folks to be able to see themselves out there
15:12
and chase their dreams and even if they maybe don't see themselves
15:16
out there that they're fully capable,
15:18
no matter where they come from,
15:20
what upbringing. The reason why I do this work is
15:23
because when I was a kid,
15:24
I didn't have opportunities like this,
15:26
you know, and I really want kids,
15:29
not only kids but youth old and young just to keep
15:33
going and be a student for life.
15:36
I feel like for me,
15:37
I'm a student for life and I really want folks to just
15:40
keep out there, stay curious and stay inspired,
15:43
love that and in which ways do you actually incorporate your culture
15:48
Into your work 24 73 65.
15:51
I am like as a Chicana,
15:54
it's like, it's important to me because when I grew up
15:58
it was like we had to assimilate to whiteness,
16:02
right? There was many years where I experienced shame like I
16:08
wasn't able to, to be myself in,
16:10
in these spaces and I needed to be somebody else.
16:13
It wasn't until my later adult years.
16:16
It's where again, like in New York,
16:18
having the space where you see other folks like embracing their culture
16:23
embracing who they are.
16:24
It became a space where I'm like,
16:26
oh, I can be this way too.
16:29
And so we really do want to showcase that,
16:32
hey, we're not a monolith and you know,
16:36
we're all here to support one another and,
16:38
and keep shining and rising.
16:40
That's awesome. And what other way would you like to leave
16:44
behind? I feel for me it's the creative side of me
16:49
Like I want to,
16:51
I want to do more storytelling.
16:53
I want to bring more folks on board and represent their cultures
16:57
It's, it's why I do this work and I'm so
16:59
passionate. You're, yeah,
17:01
you're doing, you're doing the thing.
17:04
I'm I'm trying, that's why I love that the way I
17:08
program seriously because it's helped like give AAA platform to tell my
17:13
story, you know,
17:15
like we still have a lot of needs.
17:17
I mean, funding is a big issue.
17:19
We gotta, sustainability is so important to me,
17:22
I could easily go and impact 3000 students,
17:26
you know, but I wanna focus on 100 students and 200
17:33
hours each, you know,
17:34
like it's important to me because again,
17:37
when I grew up,
17:38
it was like we were in these little programs as a kid
17:41
and maybe one month,
17:43
two months and then never to be seen again.
17:45
But I do remember those,
17:47
those mentors, those educators at that time.
17:50
So I always take that to heart that what I'm doing,
17:54
the kids see me out there hustling being an artist,
17:58
singing, acting, but also taking the time to inspire them
18:03
And it's literally has,
18:05
has been so rewarding in that,
18:08
in that world. You know,
18:09
thank you so much Brazil for coming on and telling us more
18:12
about the mark you're leaving behind and where can people follow you
18:15
Yeah, you can follow me on all the socials at
18:18
Brazil, Torres, Instagram,
18:20
tiktok and as well,
18:22
the good, good collective.
18:23
We're on those platforms as well and check out our website.
18:26
You feel so inclined.
18:27
Follow our journey. Thank you so much.
18:30
Thank you, Brio.
18:32
If you're out to help your communities,
18:33
go tell Cheetos about it,
18:35
answer for your chance to win $25,000 and become the next Cheetos
18:38
They have to weigh out ambassador.
18:44
Help me welcome the Evil Cook.
18:49
So this is where Tacos join the dark side.
18:52
So thank you guys for joining us today.
18:54
And what are your names.
18:55
My name is, my name is Alex Garcia.
18:57
Thank you for coming.
18:58
So how do you guys both meet?
19:00
We met in the Slayer Mosh Pit.
19:03
Were you guys moshing or?
19:05
Oh yeah. And I love how you guys are hardcore.
19:10
You guys are both in there because it gets intense.
19:12
How did you go from the Mosh Pit to creating tacos together
19:16
I always wanted to be a rock star but you know
19:19
like being a rock star doesn't pay the bills.
19:21
So I had to do something for a living.
19:24
And I think the tacos and the metal scene is like music
19:28
goes hand to hand and we try to put that energy into
19:32
the tacos for sure.
19:33
Like it's like some type of chaos.
19:35
But at the end of the day,
19:36
when you taste them,
19:37
like you feel that you're having something that makes sense at the
19:40
end of the day,
19:41
since we couldn't be rocks,
19:43
you know, like we can be like rocks or Taquero.
19:45
Why not? I love that.
19:47
What do we have today today?
19:49
We brought our octopus taco and our Flan taco.
19:52
We're going to start with the flan one,
19:54
right? Oh my God.
19:56
This is our Flan taco.
19:58
That's her most famous dessert taco that we have.
20:02
That was the first dessert taco that we introduced to people in
20:06
2019. Yeah. So our tortilla is a hybrid.
20:09
It's a mix of corn and flour.
20:11
So it's in between a crepe and a pancake man.
20:14
There's two more everything.
20:18
Yeah. Never had it by try plant tacos.
20:23
This is great guys.
20:25
So it has Polron.
20:27
That's a sherbet cookie.
20:29
Coconut flakes, some orange peels and some mint.
20:35
This is great guys.
20:36
Ok. Well, Pasa pro the octopus one,
20:41
they're black do people sometimes you know,
20:45
they say, oh it's Ricardo Negro.
20:51
What we do? We burn chile cacao tortilla and it comes
20:56
in a paste and that's how we marinate the octopus.
20:59
How did the evil cooks come about?
21:01
How did you guys think of that?
21:03
So it came out like a shirt company.
21:06
I was a chef for so many years that I got burnt
21:09
and I wanted to do something else than just be in the
21:12
office doing paperwork. So I start drawing some stuff in my
21:15
free time and I start selling shirts and I call evil cooks
21:19
because of a tattoo that I got.
21:21
And people start asking for catering,
21:24
private events, private dinners.
21:26
So we're like, you know,
21:26
let's do it and we end up having the same name.
21:30
Cooks. You keep it like that and that's how we start
21:32
like cooking on the streets in A L A.
21:34
That's really cool. Oh my gosh.
21:37
Well, I'm excited to try this one.
21:38
Excited and nervous though.
21:40
We'll go in. I hope you like spicy food.
21:42
Oh, do I love it?
21:44
I love spicy food.
21:49
I think one of the little suction cups as well.
21:51
I'm joking. I know little kids.
21:55
What's the most heavy metal taco?
21:57
You've got, we have the,
21:59
the Gene Simmons. That's what else we have the chilaquiles.

22:09
Really? That's a lot of tortilla though.
22:11
I love it though.
22:12
I love some tortillas.
22:13
Tortillas will knock you out.
22:16
We have something called a la cino.
22:18
That's cheese octopus, Black Pastor.
22:22
And that's a huge taco for sure.
22:24
That's cool. So say I were to take my Alita to
22:27

22:29
I know they're super dark.
22:32
And what would you recommend?
22:34
Like? We have a lot of good stuff for beginners.
22:38
People who's afraid of try something new,
22:40
something that has the little devil in.
22:46
We tell them to try the green chorizo,
22:49
the black pastor, like something more familiar to whatever they have
22:54
or carnitas like. And what would the devil's order look like
22:57
We have the four horsemen like four of our tacos
